It Starts With a Birthstone - 200 Albums for 2024 # 13 Roge - Curyman II

 

November and December increasingly become enormous mopping up operations on It Starts. Flicking through the November and December issues of Uncut and Mojo magazines. The end of year rundowns, finding tasty musical treats  that I need to shoehorn into my own list as December approaches.

This for example. Rio De Janeiro's Roge's a carioca merchant from Rio and his latest album Curyman II . swings with the flair, swerve and  verve that only Brazilian muic and football can, Like Tostao throwing a deft turn and flowing into space before breaking the offside trap with a neat ball and setting Jairzinho in on goal the crowd roaring in anticipation.. 

This is a wonderful record. Another one. They're flowing into It Starts With a Birthstone's nets with abandoned fishy joy and relish these days, But hold that relish. At least until we reach the Captain's Table. There's a particular happiness, a particular momentum which can only be described as Brazilain happiness and momentum. A spirit that can't be contained. Certainly not by nets. , 'Este album tem tuda de sobra. E coma uma festa em Copacabana,'
